    • GPM PR on TRMM Precipitation Statistics, at Surface and Fixed Heights 1 day 0.25x0.25 degree V07 (GPM_3PRD) at GES DISC

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

    This a new (GPM-formated) TRMM product. There is no equivalent in the old TRMM suite of products.Version 07 is the current version of the data set. Older versions will no longer be available and have been superseded by Version 07.This is the GPM-like formatted TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) daily gridded data, first released with the "V8" TRMM reprocessing. The daily radar grid data is new for TRMM nomenclature and is introduced for consistency with the GPM Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR). The closest ancestor was 3A25 which was a monthly radar statistics.This product consists of daily statistics of the PR measurements at (0.25x0.25) degrees horizontal resolution.The objective of the algorithm is to calculate various daily statistics from the level 2 PRoutput products. Four types of statistics are calculated:1. Probabilities of occurrence (count values)2. Means and standard deviationsIn all cases, the statistics are conditioned on the presence of rain or some other quantity suchas the presence of stratiform rain or the presence of a bright-band. For example, to computethe unconditioned mean rain rate, the conditional mean must be multiplied by the probabilityof rain which, in turn is calculated from the ratio of rain counts to the total number ofobservations in the box of interest. The grids are in the Planetary Grid 2 structure matching the Dual-frequency PR on the core GPM observatory that covers 67S to 67N degrees of latitudes. Areas beyond the ±40 degrees of latitudes are padded with empty grid cells.
